A fragmentary list of goods with their prices or charges, from Roman Egypt in the 3rd century AD. Items include vegetable seed, pigs and piglets, sacrificial animals, perfumed oils (lily, narcissus, rose, palm, laurel, almond), chrysolite, painters' pigments, white lead and ochre, as well as boat expenses.
The entries give rates per unit (artaba, metretes, sextarius), suggesting a tariff or price schedule, possibly for taxes or dues. Several item names are damaged and their reading uncertain.
